Excalibur

Excalibur is a wooden roller coaster at Funtown Splashtown USA that takes riders through a lengthy course with multiple turns and descents. The ride features classic wooden coaster trains and combines traditional drop-and-rise elements typical of this type of construction.

The ride opened in 1998, ending a 50-year gap since wooden coasters had last operated in Maine. This debut marked a turning point for the return of this classic ride type to the region.

The ride takes its name from the legendary Arthurian sword, creating a sense of medieval adventure for those who board it. Visitors experience a journey framed around knightly themes and historical storytelling woven into the modern coaster experience.

Visitors need to meet a minimum height requirement to ride, which is a standard safety rule you should check before boarding. The entire journey takes just under two minutes, so plan for a brief but intense experience.

The coaster ranks among New England's longest wooden tracks, offering riders a more extended experience than many similar rides in the region. This length gives it a special appeal for those seeking a longer adventure on wooden rails.
